Ike★ 2,906 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Haven’t been gaming much of late except a little Smash here and there and I Beat Sabers is fun to pick up and play. Recently though, I’ve mostly been playing Let’s Go Pikachu with my kids. It’s a great introduction to games and both my 4 year old son and 7 year old daughter fucking love it. It’s honestly quite nostalgic and I really enjoy it as I remember being close to my daughter’s age when Pokemon on Game Boy came out. It just feels great to share a hobby that I love and can bond over it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 726 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Man the sections leading up to and right after the time skip in Fire Emblem were amazing. Think I'm nearing the end now, just over 40 hours in and at the end of Chapter 14. The battles are actually getting tougher now too, been playing on Hard/Classic and haven't lost anyone up to this point but there might be a sacrifice or two before the end. It's so dope how all my students have developed and are now absolute units in their own way. I'm rolling with: Edelgard - My tank, basically nothing can touch her and she does decent damage. Felix - Focused him on swords, does massive damage Bernadetta - Sniper Petra - Assassin, she's solid with both swords and range at this point Hubert - Warlock, massive damage and he's pretty tanky for a caster Lysithea - Glass cannon Bernadetta - Made her my dancer so she's mostly utility since I use Dance on mostly every turn, but she's still got some solid damage output if needed Mercedes and Lindhart on the heals One thing I'll say is that I've become a lot less interested in the Support scenes as the games gone on. Happens to me with a lot of big games like this...I'll take everything in and play slow for the first bit but once the ends in site I get a little impatient and tend to rush a bit more. Leaning towards team blue for my second playthrough. Might wait for all the DLC to be out before I do it though. Also might not do Classic mode this time but we'll see. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Playing Disco Elysium. This game has some really good writing, but its not at all what I expected as Its not really a RPG in the traditional sense. So far most of the game has been me conversing with other characters while unlocking/improving skills that can change your interactions with them. Best way to describe it would be to call it a dialogue simulator with some point and click elements. Its enjoyable enough but i do wish there was more to the gameplay.

kaz 2,439 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I started playing ass creed black flag because people kept saying how good it is and I kinda like it so far. The environments are amazing even for a 2013 game. And the story is pretty cool, i like the smug main character. Tbh it's like asscreed with a far cry 3 mod lol the map is huge. I looked it up and it's the same size as odyssey which is the biggest map. I think I will skip the other ones and play odyssey right after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,606 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Started Vampyr. I tried it on xbox but it was clunky junk. Much better on PC and im kinda digging it so far. Its not what I was expecting. Disco sounds like a game I would hate ughh dialogue sim haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Disco sounds like a game I would hate ughh dialogue sim haha Vampyr is cool, one of the more underrated and overlooked games of last year imo. And Disco is definitely a game that won't appeal to everyone. Im 15 hours in and it feels like 90% of my game time has been attributed to reading walls of text and picking different dialogue options. Thankfully the writing and overarching mystery are good enough to make all the reading worth it. Edited October 20, 2019 by Twinblade 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Casual 726 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Outer Worlds is really cool so far. game looks great too, first recent game I’m playing on my rig (waiting on steam sale). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,606 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I'm about 2 hours into outer worlds and it's good so far . I wouldn't say it's great looking tho . Environments look ok but character models are ugly . I'm probably gonna stick with it on xbox cus 4k but I'll try on PC as well . Seems the decisions you make actually matter so another playthrough will seem pretty different probably Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Played a couple rounds of the Ground War mode in Modern Warfare and im impressed at how similar it is to BF gameplay wise. It gets pretty intense with a bunch of battles happening simultaneously all across the map, and the vehicles feel pretty good. I need to play more but so far I would say IW does large scale battles better than BF does small scale infantry focused gameplay.

Casual 726 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I forgot how bad gaming ADD I get when gaming on PC. So many options, so few clicks away..... Forza Horizon 4 has been cutting into my Outer Worlds time but god damn is it good. Played the shit outta Forza 2 back on 360...it was the perfect game to just play mindlessly and listen to podcasts too. This seems like it'll fill that hole, haven't played a racer I liked this gen.
